GNU Libtasn1 2.14 released

[Simon Josefsson]

GNU Libtasn1 is a standalone library written in C for manipulating ASN.1
objects including DER/BER encoding/decoding. GNU Libtasn1 is used by
GnuTLS to handle X.509 structures and by GNU Shishi to handle Kerberos
V5 structures.

* Noteworthy changes in release 2.14 (2012-09-24) [stable]
- Added asn1_read_node_value() to obtain a node's value.
This is to deprecate the export of the node_asn internal structure
for the upcoming 3.x release. The ASN1_DATA_NODE type and the
ASN1_ETYPE_* constants were added to support the new function.

Commercial support contracts for Libtasn1 are available, and they help
finance continued maintenance. Simon Josefsson Datakonsult AB, a
Stockholm based privately held company, is currently funding Libtasn1
maintenance. We are always looking for interesting development
projects. See http://josefsson.org/ for more details.

For developers interested in improving code quality, we publish
Cyclomatic code complexity charts that help you find code that may
need review and improvements:

Code coverage charts indicate parts of the source code that needs
to be tested better by the included self-tests:
